Coconut Flour Breakfast Cookies

Against All Grain has published this great Coconut Flour Breakfast Cookies recipe featuring our Let's Do...Organic® Coconut Flour: "As kids we were always told that cookies were not an acceptable meal for breakfast. I’d like to know who made up that rule, and then tell them that I’m breaking it. I let my 18 month old eat these cookies for breakfast. I figure, if they have fruit in them, then aren’t they kind of like a muffin but without the wrapper? These are halfway between a cookie and a muffin, so let’s just call them Cookfins and we won’t get in trouble. Not going to lie, I get a little excited when I look at the ingredients for these cookies. I love that there’s no dairy, minimal flour, and that they’re just as good with the flax “eggs” as they are with conventional eggs. They’re low in calories and high in fiber and protein. They’re grain-free, dairy-free, and are completely sweetened by fruit. Which also makes them Paleo and SCD." Coconut Flour Breakfast Cookies Ingredients (makes 1 dozen)

• 1/4 cup coconut flour (Let's Do...Organic® Coconut Flour)
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 6 pitted dried dates, soaked in warm water for 15 minutes
• 3/4 cups shredded coconut (I used Let’s Do Organic® Reduced Fat Shredded Coconut)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 medium eggs (or 2 tablespoons finely ground flaxseed + 5 tablespoons warm water)
• 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons dried unsweetened dark cherries
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
• 3 tablespoons currants

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• If you’re doing the vegan version, whisk your ground flax and warm water in a bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it has thickened.
• Combine the coconut flour, almond butter, and dates in a food processor. Process until well combined and the dates have broken up into really small pieces, about a minute.
• Add the shredded coconut, applesauce, eggs or flax “eggs”, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and baking soda and process for 30 seconds until a wet dough forms.
• Add in the remaining ingredients, and pulse once or twice until the fruit is incorporated into the dough but chopped up.
• Using an ice cream scoop or large tablespoon, drop the dough in heaping spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with a SilPat or parchment paper.
• Dip a metal spatula in water, and use the bottom to lightly press down each ball of dough. These cookies will not spread or rise so make sure to make them the shape you want them prior to baking.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until they are golden on top and slightly brown along the edges.

I store mine in the freezer and just remove the amount of cookies I want to eat 15-20 minutes prior to eating. They’re also really good warm, so you can pop them in the microwave frozen for 20 seconds as well. Enjoy! Click here for printer friendly version Find Great Organic Coconut Flour Recipes Here.
